Unemployed for love! Aussie TV news presenter confirms she's quit her job to be the new Bachelorette

"Money can't buy me love," The Beatles sang in one of the Fab Four's biggest hits. Apparently, Aussie TV presenter Georgia Love has really taken that line to heart.

The Hobart-based WIN News presenter has confirmed that she will follow in Sam Frost's footsteps as the next Bachelorette.

Apparently, despite being young (she's 29), beautiful, successful and named after the very thing she's after (Georgia Love - how perfect is that?), one important ingredient to the happiness formula has proven to be elusive.

"I've gotten to a point in my life where I've realised I want to prioritise myself more than my career and the thing that is missing is love and this is my number one focus right now," she told The Daily Telegraph.

That's quite a leap of fate when you consider that there's no guarantee she'll follow in Sam's footsteps and find lasting love after the final rose.

"That makes the whole thing even scarier and exciting and more daunting because I've worked really hard my whole career to get to this point and I've loved what I've done but this is how serious I am that I want to find somebody and I want to settle down that I've actually taken a step away from all that," she said.

And there's no turning back now. The Melbourne native, who previously worked as a dance teacher and trapeze artist, has already moved from Tasmania to Sydney and started filming this week.

The Bachelorette casting news might come as a surprise to some, as former Bachelor contest (and Blake Garvey ex) Louise Pillidge as well as Lana Jeavons-Fellows from Sam Wood's Bachelor season had been tipped to be frontrunners for gig.

In a statement to TheSydney Morning Herald, Channel Ten praised their choice: "Georgia's impressive accomplishments and warm personality made her the clear choice to lead the upcoming season of The Bachelorette Australia."

But will she find long and lasting true blue love? Stay tuned...
